This disciplinary matter is before the Court on the Report and Recommendation of the special master, Margaret Washburn, recommending that Jennifer L. Wright State Bar No. 519727 be disbarred following her April 2015 guilty plea conviction in the Superior Court of Douglas County for felony possession of Alprazolam, a Schedule IV substance, see OCGA § 16-13-30 a, for which she was sentenced to three years probation. Wright, who became a member of the Bar in 2000, received a formal letter of admonition in 2012.

The special master held a hearing at which Wright and her first probation officer testified. As found by the special master, the evidence showed that Wright has not been compliant with the terms of her probation, including the requirement that she participate in a substance abuse treatment program and discontinue her use of marijuana. Additionally, the evidence also showed that Wright has a history of arrests for driving under the influence, a failure to take responsibility for her actions or to show remorse, a tendency to blame other people and circumstances for her problems, and a lack of candor with a counselor conducting an alcohol and drug abuse assessment. Together, these circumstances reflect adversely on her fitness to practice law.
